Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3358806A1] The present invention discloses a service migration method that is used in a software upgrade in an NFV architecture. The method includes: sending, by a VNFM module, a virtual machine VM request command to a first VIM module, where the first VIM module manages a first host Host on which post-upgrade new-version software is configured; receiving, by the VNFM module, a VM request response from the first VIM module, where the VM request response includes information about a first VM that the first VIM module requests on the first host Host, and virtual machine own data that can run on the first host and that is configured by the first VIM module is configured on the first VM; and sending, by the VNFM module, a service migration command to a virtualized network function VNF module, where the service migration command is used to instruct the VNF module to migrate a running service on a second VM to the first VM, and the second VM is deployed on a second host on which pre-upgrade old-version software is configured. The present invention helps ensure that a service migrated in a software upgrade runs normally and continuously, and even that the service is not interrupted.
